The Wandering Minstrel

When questioned by Rep. Darrell Issa, Attorney General Eric Holder claims that the whole thing is a political plot to discredit the administration. Really? I can see his nose growing from here . . .

Breaking: The family of murdered Border Patrol agent Brian Terry has filed a $25 million wrongful death suit against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives claiming Terry was killed with AK-47s that were knowingly sold under the Fast and Furious gunrunning probe to a straw purchaser for drug cartels.

Unfortunately, the family is also suing Lone Wolf Trading, the source of the weapon used to kill Agent Terry. The suit alleges that the company employees should have not cooperated with ATF knowing that the so-called sting operation was illegal. In my humble opinion, Lone Wolf should also sue the ATF and name all the ATF agents, the head of BATFE and Atty. General Eric Holder (a.k.a Eric the withHolder) as co-defendants.

It looks as if the Obamination’s so-called “under the radar” targets are going to start appearing on a radar screen near you. Fox News has the story at this link.

Same as last time around - his lips are moving . . .

According to Mark Alexander:

There was not ONE SINGLE free-market economic remedy mentioned in Obama’s entire teleprompted rhetoric last night — every “solution” was government engineering by way of intervention, regulation or redistribution. Obama ended his recitation asserting, “We should all want a smarter more effective government.” Indeed, on this we should all agree, and to that end, work tirelessly to defeat Obama and his socialist regime.

Quoting Darrell Issa (R-Calif.):

“The Department of Justice’s conduct in the investigation of Operation Fast and Furious has been nothing short of shameful. From its initial denials that nothing improper occurred, to efforts to silence whistleblowers who wanted to tell Congress what really happened, to its continuing refusal to discuss or share documents related to this cover-up, the Justice Department has fought tooth and nail to hide the full truth about what occurred and what senior officials knew. Attorney General Holder must explain or reverse course on decisions that appear to put the careers of political appointees ahead of the need for accountability and the Department’s integrity.”

Naomi, a reader on the other blog passed a link to the following You Tube video which I have embedded here . . .

Further proof of the Google search - this is what came up here this afternoon when I typed “how do I qualify” into the Google search box . . .

I usually post Ramirez’ cartoons on the other blog but we already posted there when I saw this priceless accounting of the accomplishments of the Obamination. Clickable image (if you want to read the fine print).

Here’s more damning history about the habitually-lying Holder . . .

From Andrew McCarthy in a 2009 National Review article:

Eric Holder’s intercession on behalf of fugitive Marc Rich is so inexplicable that he has always viewed ignorance as his best defense. It’s as though Holder believes that a deputy attorney general looks better for having remained studiously unaware of critical facts in a criminal case before throwing his weight around. But that’s Holder’s story, and he’s sticking to it: even if it turns out not to be true.

Holder is President Obama’s choice [for] attorney general. That means the Rich case is a big problem for him today–just as it was in 2001, when an outraged Congress demanded an explanation of the controversial affair. President Clinton had pardoned the fugitive financier on the recommendation of Holder, who was then deputy attorney general. The only feeble response Holder could muster was that he didn’t really know much about Rich’s case and that, as Justice’s number two official, he was simply too busy to learn about it.
